Wow! Very cool Terry! Thanks for sharing. I’ve read that European coins were used during early days in America (Irish, Spanish) when US mintage coins either didn’t exist or were just getting started. Anyway, I still can’t believe it! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to beat this date here in NY.

That's a beautiful coin there I would be overjoyed to find that one! Congrats on a nice save and some great history to wonder about!

Thanks again everyone for looking! I still can't believe it, I've never seen one either.

Very cool find. Very nice condition too.
That one will be hard to top and will likely remain your oldest coin unless you go overseas

Forgot to say, I would be happy with that for the collection!

Not a rare one but a great find overseas! Congrats! I agree with Crusader, one of these would be a nice one for the collection.

I always vote Banner when I see something I'd see as something I would never expect.

I don't vote Banner very often, maybe once a month or more. Consider my vote in after I finish my response.

Very cool, interesting and unique coin. Never seen one. I figured this was going to be found in Europe. I have no idea about the rarity of this coin but I think the cool factor of the coin and place found (NY) should give this some consideration for banner. Well done!

Excellent logic!
